Fake Tan: It's Easier Than You Think


Fake Tan: It's Easier Than You Think


Author: Charlotte Bleasdale







If you've got milk bottle legs and are longing for a golden glow – don't fear the fake tan! Getting it right is easier than you think. Use it for a special occasion or do it at home to save money you'd spend at the salon.


Follow these three easy steps and you'll be looking chic and sun-kissed in no time.


Prepare your skin


Getting your skin ready for your tan is almost as important as the way you apply it and a step that women are often tempted to skip. We're not talking a last minute moisturise here! Here's how to do it properly.


The first step is to get your legs hair free so the tan goes on smoothly. Do this well in advance of when you plan to apply the tan – at least 24 hours before if you're shaving, or two days if you're waxing. If you do it too close your pores will be open and will collect the tan.


Next, use an exfoliating scrub all over your body to remove any dry skin. Give plenty of attention to extra-dry bits such as your elbows, knees, ankles and heels. This will make your skin extra smooth, allowing the tan to glide on easily. It will also prolong the life of your tan as you won't be applying tan to old skin that's due to be shed any naturally anyway.


The final preparation step is to moisturise all over, using more in those problem dry spots. Don't leave this until the day of your tan as it will stop the tan from sticking.


Applying your tanning product


Choose a shade of fake tan that's appropriate for your skin tone to get the most natural look. Whether you prefer spray, mousse, cream or gel is really down to a matter of personal preference so why not try a different one each time until you find your favourite? If you're new to fake tanning, a moisturiser with fake tan is a good place to start as you can build your tan up slowly and you can't really go wrong as it's so light.


Fake tan can stain your clothes, so just before bed is the best time to apply it. You can then pop an old pair of pyjamas on and give your tan plenty of time to develop overnight. Even so, you'll need to waist at least ten minutes before wearing any type of loose clothing.


Apply your fake tan with your hands, or if you're worried about them becoming too stained, wear latex gloves or a tanning mitt.


It's best to start applying at your feet and work up, or vice-versa. If you're worried about applying it to your face, try a special facial tanning cream that's more gently, or dilute ordinary fake tan with a little moisturiser. If it comes out lighter than you'd like you can always wear bronzer – better too light than too dark when it comes to your face.


If you've decided not to wear gloves you'll now need to thoroughly wash your hands. You can then add a light layer of tan to your hands (removing all jewellery first), blending very carefully between your fingers and at the wrists.


For a deep tan you can reapply up to three times, but make sure you allow you're tan to fully develop before adding a second coat or you could end up more tanned than you intended. You'll need to avoid having a shower or a bath for at least eight hours after you've put your tan on, and try to avoid water generally for at least three.


Maintaining your tan


To prolong the life of your tan and keep it looking its best, make sure you moisturise every day. After five days or so, exfoliate lightly to get rid of any dead skin and to ensure your tan does not go patchy as it fades. To keep your tan topped up, you can reapply your fake tan on the day of exfoliation.

5 Simple Skin Care Tips For Teenage Girls Wearing Make Up


5 Simple Skin Care Tips For Teenage Girls Wearing Make Up


Author: John Burrow

Skin problems is one of the major health problems that teenage girls have to deal with. At a time where your looks really matter a lot its important that you look your best. Bad skin can affect more than your social life. Although it should not, it does tend to affect self esteem and the way you feel about yourself. While there are certain things, like hormones, that you cannot do anything about the vast majority of skin issues is within your control and you can do something about it..

Make up can have a great influence on your skin and the health of your skin. For many young girls its something new on their skin and sometimes the reaction can be negative - especially if there are chemicals in the products. With that in mind, here are 5 simple tips to help you stay healthy and keep your skin clear and beautiful.

1. Try to always buy make up and skin care products that are made from natural products. Chemical based products are usually much cheaper but they tend to be much harsher on your skin and can often lead to skin problems.

2. Always test new make up before you use it. Use a bit on your ear lobes or under your chin and leave it for a few hours to see how your skin reacts to it. This is important when you try out new products for the first time and even when its "safe and natural" you should still test how your skin will react to it.

3. Always check the expiry date of any product you buy. This also means that you should use it before the expiry date. There is a good reason why products expire and usually its because they are no longer safe to use after that date. Often time when products are on sale they have a short shelf life left, so be careful.

4. Never apply too much make up - especially when your skin is prone to zits and acne. Sometimes it seems like a good idea to cover up bad spots but too much make up can actually make this problem worse.

5. Always clean your face properly before you go to bed. Make up can irritate your skin and you need to allow your skin enough "breathing time" while you are sleeping. Make sure you clean is off completely with a good facial cleanser.

Skin Care For Women Over 50


Skin Care For Women Over 50


Author: John Socratous

There was a time when for women over 50, it meant end of beauty and best days! They stoically embraced the great signs of aging like wrinkles, sagging skin and dryness. But with advancement of science is every field, and also rediscovering the ancient wisdoms of our grandmothers, today there are both natural and medical ways of preventing the skin from turning our worst enemy once we turn 50. Skin care has become easier that before; but it is only effective when done with utmost care and regularity.


When you reach the age of 50, you have to take care of skin in two ways; first you have to prevent further damages or limit the damages due to aging, and also turn some if not all the damages that already has happened. At this age our skin loses elasticity and moisture in a much greater speed and cell turnover also slows down. That is why women over 50 need products that are very proactive in working so that the skin gets adequate protection from sun, moisture is retained and skin regeneration gets a boost. With regular use of such products, you will see great improvement when it comes to wrinkles and fine lines.


The few things you will need for maintaining a skin care regime for women over 50 include facial cleanser, a moisturizer for the day with SPF and a moisturizer for night. You will also need a washcloth while cleaning and washing your face.


Use a gentle cleanser that has non-soap formula to clean your face two times a day, once in the morning and once in night. It is better if you go for cleansers that are specifically created for aging, mature skin like yours as they have most amount of moisturizer. Take about a dime-size cleanser in your hand and massage it slowly to your skin. Now wet a washcloth with tepid water and wash off the cleanser by rubbing with the washcloth. Use circular motion while doing that. When you wash off in such a manner, your face not only gets cleaned, it also gets exfoliated.


Remember that the sun is your worst enemy all the more as your natural protection system is now slowing down. So avoid direct sunlight as much as possible as it can also lead to skin cancer and faster aging.


After cleaning your face in the morning, use a serum or rich emollient cream to moisturize your skin. Look for those products that come with antioxidants like Vitamin C or peptides and protect your skin from both UVB and UVA rays. Such moisturizer for women over 50 generally come with SPF 15 or 30. Make sure you apply it to your face when it is still damp from cleansing; as wet skin react better with such anti-aging products.


At night, the moisturizer to use after your clean your face should be some thick cream that has retinoids like Retin-A or retinol. Retinoid have a tendency to become extra-sensitive to sun and hence you should use retinoid based products at night for maximum benefit. Just rub it gently to your face and let it work through for the rest of the night.
Women over 50 should make sure that they visit their dermatologist on regular basis. There are many health problems related to your skin that may come up at this age; and you need to protect yourself from them as well as along with protection from the signs of aging.

The Connection Between Beautiful Skin and Hydration




The Connection Between Beautiful Skin and Hydration

By Carol Belanger




Most people fail to realize just how important hydration is in maintaining a healthy body and beautiful skin. Maintaining the proper amount of fluid in the body at both the extra-cellular (outside a cell) and intra-cellular (inside a cell) is essential for cell health.

Proper hydration is critical; it helps the body assimilate essential nutrients and excrete toxins, assists in maintaining pH balances, and helps prevent kidney stones, constipation and urinary infections. Furthermore it reduces the signs of ages and keeps skin soft and elastic. Additionally the water content in skin helps it perform its protective functions.

Without proper hydration the skin looks dull, dry, and extra sensitive and it loses it suppleness. Additionally without sufficient hydration the rate of healing to damaged dermal layers are slowed, hair follicles can get blocked causing bacterial accumulation and even skin breakouts and acne take more time to heal. Additionally, when the skin is not adequately hydrated, it loses thickness, and offers less body protection from environmental factors.

Below are recommendations in which you can hydrate your body and skin:

Drink water - I know it has been said a lot but it is always worth repeating!

Moisturize - again worth repeating. A moisturizer can slow down the ageing process versus skin that is moisture deprived. While a moisturizer will not get rid of wrinkles, when your skin is not moisturized wrinkles will appear more pronounced.

For those that suffer with acne or oily skin, hydration should also be in your skin care routine. Oily skin may not need moisture but it still needs hydration. For instance, I have seen friends with oily skin yet still have dry flaky skin patches on their face, this is due to lack of hydration.

Toner - optional although I am a faithful user and believe in the benefits it provides.

Exfoliate - exfoliation is a gentle method to slough off dead cells. It promotes new cell turnover and circulation.

Protect - in today's world the skin needs protection from environmental factors so be sure to use a sunscreen.

Hydrating masks - clay masks are wonderful! Be sure to select the right clay for your skin type.

Avoid products that are stripping your skin of its natural oils. Be gentle with your skin and it will reward you in the long run.

Simple Skin Care Tips to a Younger Looking Skin


Simple Skin Care Tips to a Younger Looking Skin


Author: Blake Jacobs

Almost everybody have their ways in keeping their skin healthy, smooth and achieve its younger looking status. Since natural beauty is better, many people choose to do the natural way or method of having and maintaining a beautiful skin. Many people maintain a daily skin care regimen while other do a regular exercise program like slimming, physical training such as a brisk walk, jogging and cycling. More and more women are becoming sensitive when it comes to skin care because they value their skin so much because it is considered an asset.

Skin care maintenance does not require much expense or money because there are natural ways on achieving it. Most of the natural skin care regimen is done or prepared at home for more convenience. The primary or the most prominent skin care regimen as many people might not be aware of is to have an 8 hour sleep during night time. Having a complete rest and sleep will give our skin healthy and have its radiant glow. Aside from that, getting ourselves to drink plenty or enough water hydrates our skin.

In addition, eating a lot of fruits and vegetables will give us the vitamins and minerals that we need. Once we get outside our homes, we can get dirt, and other kinds of allergens that may cause harm to our skin and body. It is noteworthy that right after we arrive, we need to get rid of those impurities by taking a bath. We can take a shower to remove dirt. Body brush or body scrub is also used to remove or peel dead skin cells. After bath, we must apply moisturizers or lotion to soften and moisturize the skin.

Body peel as well as body scrub is also performed in many medical spas today just like what Idaho Skin Care and Burley Skin Care offer. When going out of our house, we must apply lotion, makeup and other moisturizing creams that have high SPF to protect us from the sun's too much UV rays. In some instances, there are skin diseases or problems that need to be treated by dermatologists and other skin care experts. If this situation comes, we need to make sure that the medical spa or dermatological office have a valid license to operate.

Skin care and beauty products almost have the same ingredients. Let's say a whitening soap; almost all of them have the same ingredients that whiten the skin. They only differ in the level of content with the said chemical or main ingredient which usually in the form of vitamins, minerals and other natural substances. If a certain beauty product was advertised in the television using an artist as an endorser, the price of the said item becomes more expensive compared to similar products that have the same concentration.

Taking exceptional care of our skin does not start on the skin itself but also on the things that we eat and use for our body. If we take care of our body, we are also taking proper care of our skin. So, if we follow these natural reminders, then we can maintain our healthy skin however, once we take this for granted, for sure we will have more acne and develop wrinkles earlier than expected. Therefore, it is vital for us to follow them in order to achieve or maintain a healthy skin.

To end, daily skin care regimen is necessary because it fights acne, skin irritations, other skin problems and even wrinkles. Taking a bath and regular visit to medical spa and skin care clinics helps ensure a healthy skin. Daily bathing removes dirt and other impurities that we gather in our everyday activities. Therefore, any dirt or pollutant can be removed by merely taking a bath, skin peel and body scrub.

Yves Saint Laurent YSL Skincare Review

Yves Saint Laurent, better known as YSL also has its own line of skin care products that are divided into their two collections: Temps Majeur and Top Secret. While YSL is historically a haute couture and prêt a porter designer fashion clothing brand, it also has a very successful perfumes, fragrances and cosmetics product line.

The YSL Temps Majeur line consists of moisturizers, serums, treatment mask and toners to help your skin keep hydrated. This is Yves Saint Laurent’s anti-aging line of skincare and user reviews vary but in general seem to agree that the moisturizing effect of the products is very good.

Reviewers also found that the Yves Saint Laurent Temps Majeur skincare packaging was superior to many other skincare brands. Additionally, while the moisturizing effect is good, a few users found that there was little to no effect on fine lines or wrinkles.

However, it should be noted that the YSL Temps Majeur skincare line is anti-aging and a preventive rather than a miraculous cure.

Anti Aging With Food

Anti Aging Foods for Skin

Antioxidants play an important role in human health, when it comes to anti aging. They help the body to fight the aging effects of free radicals, through a process referred to as oxidization. Basically free radicals are unpaired, unstable molecules, formed by several natural processes within our body,
which seek other molecules to stabilize themselves, and trigger a domino effect of unstable molecules within the body which eventually leads to change in cells' DNA and damages the skin. Therefore the best method to tackle free radicals and their hazards is to stick to an anti aging diet.

List of Anti Aging Foods for Skin

Studies have proved that a diet consisting of food rich in anti aging, helps to keep the body healthy and diminishes the rate of aging. Anti aging foods are also beneficial for the skin, as the antioxidants in them help in protecting the body against free radicals and flush out the harmful toxins from the body and keep it clean. Here are a few anti aging foods for skin, which are a must when it comes to your daily diet.

Avocado
One of the best anti aging foods, avocados contains significant amount of vitamin E, which prevents aging and thus helps in maintaining a healthy glowing skin. The monounsaturated fat present in avocado helps to reduce the amount of toxins and bad cholesterol in the body. The fruit is also used in facial mask and hair conditioner preparations.

Berries
Various varieties of berries, ranging from blackberries and blueberries to raspberries and strawberries, are rich in flavonoids. These flavinoids are powerful antioxidants, which help in protecting the body and skin from free radicals and natural aging.

Broccoli
Broccoli, as well as broccoli sprouts, are rich in antioxidants such as quercetin and isothiocyanates, which help in tackling the damage caused by free radicals. In fact, broccoli sprouts has 30 times more isothiocyanates than regular broccoli.

Beans
Beans, such as black soybeans and black beans, are rich in anthocyanin, a water soluble pigment, related to flavinoids which helps to curb aging and neurological diseases. In fact, soybeans also contain isoflavones which are rich in anti-aging properties.

Cruciferous Vegetables
Cruciferous vegetables, such as Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, turnip and radish, are rich in vitamins and fiber, which help the body to fight against toxins and cancer. They are also high in vitamin C which helps the formation of skin rejuvenators - elastin and collagen.

Garlic
Garlic is yet another herb having several health benefits. It is an effective anti-inflammatory agent which combines to remove heavy metals from the body and thus helps in keeping the skin healthy and ever glowing.

Green Tea
This may come as a surprise for many, but green tea is one of the best anti aging foods for skin. Green tea, is rich in catechins, the tannic acid, which acts as an antioxidant and helps to keep the skin healthy and beautiful.

Nuts
Nuts contain significant amounts of good fat, antioxidants and minerals. Adding nuts to your daily diet will not just help you to have a healthy skin, but will also boost up your immune system and help you in fighting various diseases.

Root Vegetables
